Miscellany: Three things everyone should get a chance to experience

1. Have a WWF-style wrestling introduction in a random place.

Example: You're walking into the grocery store, and suddenly one of your favorite songs to rock out to comes on through the loudspeakers, fireworks start going off in your path, and a huge LCD screen shows a video of you doing a spinebuster on some fool.

2. Make a "Dukes of Hazzard" style jump in your everyday commuter vehicle.

Example: You're stuck in traffic. Seeing a dusty, unpaved road, you go down it in hopes of finding a shortcut. A no-good corrupt small-town sheriff starts chasing you. To escape, you use a conveniently placed bale of hay to make a 50-foot jump that leaves the sheriff in the dust. Yeehaw!

3. Casually walk away from an exploding building/car/etc., not even turning to look back (see "From Dusk Til Dawn," "John Carpenter's Vampires," etc.).

Example: You exit the house of the man who killed your wife (you killed him, 80s movie style). You casually light a cigarette with a Zippo. You toss the lighter on the ground, unknowingly hitting an oily rag that connects to a big, flammable part of the house. Kaboom! And you just walk away, maybe putting on some sunglasses as you do.
